One of the features of majordomo was that you could separate the addresses on the mailing-list and the addresses which were able to post to the list (i think it was the restricted_posters= config option).
In my case, I have an all-staff list and an all-faculty list. Sometimes our staff (not on the faculty list) sends reminder notices to the faculty (apparently they are old and forget things easily or something). The obvious thing to do is to open up the mailing list so _anyone_ can post to it --- great, but I don't want disgruntled students sending stuff to the list. Which used to happen a lot. :( The next obvious thing to do is to also add the staff to the faculty list, but mark them as "disabled" -- still subscribed, but they won't receive e-mail. Last but not least, the list (or site) admin can manually approve messages from the staff. ugh. Are there any other options for me to consider? -- Robert Carsey Senior UNIX Administrator Monmouth University Cedar Avenue West Long Branch, NJ 07764 (732) 263-5171 (732) 263-5200 FAX ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
